! FRATERNAL WORLD
Rejoice In your brother member's
good fortune.
As each day passes the great frater
nal system grows in strength.
Every member In a fraternal order is
a partner in the business.
It can be truly said that the edifice
of fraternity Is being built to last to the
end of time.
Stay by your order and your order
will stay by you—drop out, and you are
alone.
Cultivate well that fraternal spirit of
doing good for your fellow-man.
A live lodge with a good, live degree
team Is the kind that the young men
want to Join.
Personal, political or labor differences
should never Influence your vote upon
an application for membership In your
lodge.
There may be a member of your
lodge or order that Is endeavoring to
make a living conducting a little busi
ness around on a back street. As he
took the same obligation that you did.
you arc pretty sure to get value re
ceived for your money and he will ap
